The 2025 Formula 1 campaign heads to the Silverstone Circuit in England for the British Grand Prix this weekend.
Lewis Hamilton claimed victory at Silverstone last year, edging out Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who rounded out the podium in second and third. Now, in 2025, he returns to his home track with a fresh chapter underway, aiming to capture his first British Grand Prix win as a Ferrari driver.
McLaren has flirted with victory at their home race in recent seasons, but the spoils have ultimately gone to Red Bull and Mercedes. That could change this year.
Norris, buoyed by his podium finish in Austria, looks primed to finally mount a serious bid for the top step. The latest upgrades to his MCL39, specifically a revised front suspension setup, have noticeably improved his connection with the car, closing the gap to teammate Oscar Piastri in key performance areas.
The 2025 British Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
